Product Information
Full details
This Eaton Moeller T Series load disconnector is designed for electricians working with smaller PV systems up to approximately 4000W/230V AC. Its key benefit is providing a safe, isolatable point for maintenance on PV inverters by securely shutting down solar panels. A caveat is its 20A rated continuous current, which must not be exceeded. This 2-pole surface mount switch offers IP65 protection, padlock compatibility, and a robust black handle, making it suitable for various electrical isolation needs.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum continuous current this switch can handle?
The rated continuous current for this Eaton switch is 20A.
Can this switch be used outdoors?
Yes, it features an IP65 rating, which provides protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor installations.
What type of PV systems is this switch recommended for?
It is widely used for smaller PV systems, typically up to about 4000W or 230V AC.
How does the padlock feature improve safety?
The padlock compatibility allows the switch to be locked in the OFF position, preventing accidental re-energization while maintenance is being performed on connected equipment, such as a PV inverter.
What are the dimensions of the switch?
The switch has dimensions of 80mm in width, 110mm in depth, and 137mm in height.
What is the operating temperature range?
The switch can operate reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to 40°C.
Does this switch have a built-in display?
No, this switch does not feature a built-in display.
Troubleshooting
Switch fails to engage or disengage
Check for obstructions around the handle mechanism. Ensure terminals are not overtightened, which can warp the housing. Verify the internal contacts are clean and not damaged.
Inconsistent electrical connection
Verify that the wire connections to the screw terminals are tight and free from corrosion. Ensure the wires are correctly sized for the 20A rating. Inspect the internal contacts for wear or damage.
Padlock mechanism is stiff
Clean any debris from the padlock hole. Apply a small amount of suitable lubricant if necessary, ensuring it does not contaminate electrical contacts.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides essential safety for PV system maintenance by enabling full solar panel shutdown.
- IP65 rating ensures durability in challenging environmental conditions.
- Padlock feature adds a crucial layer of safety against unauthorized or accidental re-activation.
- Compact dimensions (80mm W x 110mm D x 137mm H) facilitate installation in space-constrained areas.
- Suitable for both work switch and main switch applications in smaller PV setups.
Cons
- Limited to 20A continuous current, not suitable for higher load applications.
- Requires manual wiring and installation; no plug-and-play functionality.
- Does not have a built-in display for status monitoring.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a surface-mount isolator switch. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and suitable for electrical equipment. Use appropriate glands for cable entry and exit to maintain the IP65 rating. Connect the load and line conductors to the designated screw terminals. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
Compatibility:
This switch is designed for use with DC or AC circuits up to 20A continuous current and rated voltages specified for its AC-23 applications (4kW at 690V, 6.5kW at 400V). It is particularly suited for smaller PV systems (up to 4000W/230V AC).
Care:
Keep the switch clean and free from excessive dust or moisture. Periodically check that the handle operates smoothly and that terminals remain tight. Do not use abrasive cleaners; a damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the exterior. Ensure the padlock mechanism remains free of debris.
